Just wanted to post this in case anyone else has been having issues with a mulch kit or plate. I have a 2008 15 hp 36" FD Stander. I have both the kit and plate and cut St. Augustine. I have run a lot of combos of blades with the kit and plate. The best combo I have found during growing season is the stock blades with the plate. I have used gators with plate but honestly, the stock blades work better. In the winter I run the full kit with stock blades or wavy exmarks. Hope this helps.
